Cairo Day Trip by Car from Makadi Bay
Your full-day adventure begins when our driver collects you from your Makadi Bay hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Accompanied by your private tour guide, you’ll embark on a journey to explore some of the world’s oldest and most iconic sites.
Giza Pyramids Complex
Your Makadi Bay day trip to Cairo by car offers you direct access to the magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex. This incredible site features the Great Pyramids, guarded by the enigmatic Sphinx, and flanked by the Valley Temple and six smaller pyramids.
The Great Pyramid of Giza
You’ll witness the majestic Great Pyramid of Giza, the last intact wonder of the ancient world. Constructed in 2580 BC, it stands at an impressive 147 meters (481 feet) tall. Builders used 2,300,000 solid limestone blocks to create this monumental structure. Step inside the Khufu Pyramid to explore its intricate interior, a true maze of ancient design.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
Next, stand before one of the world’s most renowned and intriguing structures: The Great Sphinx of Giza. This legendary creature possesses the body of a lion and the head of a man, likely representing King Khafre. It measures an imposing 73 meters (240 feet) in height and 19 meters (66 ft) in width.
The Valley Temple
Imagine a place where eternal life was crafted by hand. That place is the Valley Temple, built during the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC). Here, ancient Egyptians performed mortuary rituals, most notably the mummification process. This day trip from Makadi Bay to Cairo by car allows you to see one of Egypt’s best-preserved funerary temples.
Lunch will be provided at a restaurant offering spectacular views of either the Pyramids or the Nile. Afterward, your tour continues.
The Egyptian Museum
Your journey through history continues at The Egyptian Museum. This treasure trove offers an endless loop of glorious events from ancient times. It houses over 150,000 artifacts, dating back over 4000 years, displayed across two floors. These pieces come in all shapes and sizes, including the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun and a number of ancient mummies.
After a day filled with awe-inspiring discoveries, we will drive you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. This concludes your memorable day trip to Cairo by car.
